Pall Mall Cocktail
Crème de Menthe might be one of those liqueurs that one either loves or hates. To be honest, I’m not a big fan. However, it’s still popular in a lot of overly sweet modern concoctions, and it was certainly a mainstay of the well-appointed liquor cabinet and bar when Harry Craddock published his book in 1930. “The Savoy Cocktail Book” has no less than eighteen libations that use it. Here’s one named for the famous street in London’s St James area.
Pall Mall Cocktail
1 dash Orange Bitters
1 tsp. White Creme de Menthe
